李香蘭 Li Xiang Lan 1920 － 2014
An unforgettable and irreplaceable Li Xiang Lan. A legendary Mandarin songs singer from the Shanghai era and later HK in the 1950s.
I am truly saddened by her passing at an old age of 94 years in Japan.
I grew up with her songs as far as I can remembered when still a very young child in Malaysia, my original country. Her songs are part of me !
May her soul rest in peace and her songs be eternally treasured in the Chinese peoples heart !
